St. Aaron's Empire

Desert Dukedom

The small town of Chur

Almanac of the Gods 1540, August

The first meeting point that the group of Habshah wandered on the back of their camels for more than two days was the town of Chur, a border town on the almost westernmost side of the desert dukedom. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Here, Arthur, Garcia, and Copperhammer will meet some of their classmates from the southerner side of the Empire who are already waiting here, and together they will form a team and head north to the War College on the outskirts of Perth.

Tomorrow morning is the time for the group to assemble and set out, which is a little too short for a night's rest for those who have been walking in the desert for two days.

Unfortunately, the dwarven friends' little short legs didn't seem to be very adapted to the tall camels, and even as they clung to their humps, they still staggered as if they were about to fall. In the end, Baron Kyle, having exhausted all means, had to tie the two dwarves and the camel together in order to make the group meet on time.

So, in fact, the team is very tired now, and even if you sit on a camel, you can't move your legs much for a whole day, let alone take care of the dwarfs.

The group entered the town, completely ignoring the village's new gadgets and hawkers' shouts, soliciting customers, Kyle pointed to an inn at random, and everyone rushed in, leaving Olsen outside to contact the others who were going to go on the road together.

"Boss!Eight private rooms!Keep them far apart!Cook a few kinds of food, send it to the house, and ask for something delicious, a few more!" Kyle said as fast as he could, taking a gold coin directly in front of the boss.

The owner of this inn in a border town earns only three or five gold coins a year, and when he saw a big customer, he immediately smiled and arranged a room almost immediately.

Almost immediately, Kyle shook the key in his hand and said to the brass hammer, "You live in the farthest room from me, if you snore, you can still wake me up, and you can run 50 more laps a day when you get to the academy!"

Although the copper hammer looked exhausted, he immediately answered and joked: "Kai Kai, you might as well beat me up, I will run to death in 50 laps." The brass hammer has always been so familiar with it, and within a few days, everyone was given a name that he thought would sound good, and Kyle seemed to like it very much.

Kyle snorted, ignored the hammer, and said to the children as he walked up the stairs: "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, meet in the square in the center of town!Go to bed early! Don't be late! There is no breakfast for those who are late! Listen to Olsen's orders, I'll go back to sleep, goodbye, bye, good night, see you tomorrow~" and then Kyle patted his ass and disappeared in front of the teenagers' eyes.

The boys looked at each other in a daze, then at the darkening sky, shook their heads, said hello to each other, and then they all chose their own rooms and went to rest in the room.

Arthur went back to the house, lit the candle with the flint and flint prepared by the shopkeeper, and the food was already on the table, such a small border village could not eat much good food, but it could be seen that the shopkeeper had put a lot of thought into this one gold coin.

Arthur didn't eat, drank some water and lay down on the bed next to the candlelight, stretched his body slightly, and closed his eyes.

The store provided the best room, and now it was late in the evening, when the street was busy, but there was not much sound in the house, and this quiet with a slight noise made Arthur feel very comfortable.

Arthur lay in bed, exhausted, but unable to sleep.

He felt emotional.

Arthur thinks back to the bits and pieces of these years, from being admired, to being bullied, to regaining everyone's respect.

Arthur was bitter and angry, bullying the weak for the sake of his children, for friendships that seemed strong but were fragile.

But when he saw Garcia desperate to save him, when he saw that he was injured and that almost the entire village had come to visit him, he knew that maybe he was wrong.

Maybe he just disappointed these friends too much, disappointed Garcia, disappointed Drake, disappointed the elders in the village, and disappointed his father, but that doesn't mean they don't care about themselves anymore, they don't care about themselves anymore.

Children are always innocent, but they don't know how to express their feelings, and Arthur no longer blames them for what happened.

But the experience of these years has also left a deep mark on Arthur's young heart. He was touched by Garcia's persistence, but the change in the attitude of his friends also made Arthur feel the difficulty of maintaining a friendship.

And the gap in strength will be an insurmountable gap.

Today, though not in the way he expected, Arthur was once again standing by his friend's side.

Then, you must not leave easily.

Arthur clenched his fists and swore to himself.

He wants to protect these friendships, protect his past, and the future that begins tomorrow when he opens his eyes.

Arthur's mind was extremely confused, and he didn't know how long he thought about it, but the street outside had long been quiet, and the snoring of the copper hammer was still loud across the two rooms.

Arthur smiled, finally closed his eyes, and silently waited for the morning to come.

In the dream, Arthur was very comfortable and comfortable, and Arthur couldn't remember the things in the dream. But when Arthur woke up again, he knew.

Myself was late.

Arthur jumped straight out of bed, fortunately he didn't even take off his clothes yesterday and lay down, grabbed his dagger and black sword, put his bags on his back, and rushed out of the door, while running, he asked the location of the store's town center square, and rushed out of the door.

Arthur felt very embarrassed, and before he fell asleep, he was still thinking that he must behave well, and he couldn't be left behind by his friends again, and when he woke up, he had such a big appearance in front of everyone.

The more anxious Arthur became, the more he couldn't tie the belt on the scabbard of the black sword to his waist, and even the belt of the dagger was loosely put on.

I already saw the shadow of a small group of people in front of me, and looking at the height, it was probably just a group of teenagers and girls.

Arthur couldn't help but quicken his pace and ran towards the crowd.

But just as he could see the faces of the crowd, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

Arthur was now extremely sloppy, half of his shirt was not tucked into his pants, the dagger hung behind his back, crumbling, his hands were pulling the belt of the black sword scabbard, which had not been buttoned properly, and his originally good-looking blonde hair was messy because he had just woken up and had not taken care of it, and the expression on his face was not only very embarrassed, nervous, but also stiff.

Everything seemed to come to a standstill in Arthur, his breath was completely held and his eyes were staring blankly at a person, unable to move a single inch no matter what.

It was a girl, a girl dressed in green clothes, graceful and clear.

It was still early, and the girl was just loosely tied in a ponytail with a silver ribbon, and her hair was not completely tied, but was tied on the sides, covering most of the beautiful curves of her ears. The rising sun shines through the hair, reflected on the snow-white skin, the beautiful eyes flow, the cold and clear breath overflows, and the faint soft light in the eyes, as beautiful as bamboo, as cold as bamboo, as noble as bamboo.

The girl noticed Arthur's stagnant gaze, turned her head slightly, and looked at Arthur, her lips were extremely thin, and she had quietly taken on a trace of curvature.

The girl's face is very delicate, but it is not a rare beauty, the girl's smile is moving, but it is only polite.

But at this moment, if Arthur were asked to describe the appearance of the goddesses, he would probably only have this choice.

Kyle's gaze swirls maliciously across Arthur's face, waiting for a few seconds before suddenly shouting.

"Arthur Haber!"

Arthur was like a thunderclap, and a spirit reacted, and his heart began to beat again, powerfully, but for some reason, very quickly.

"Yes!" replied Arthur with a shudder, turning to Baron Kyle, and the dagger, which had not been fastened just now, fell to the ground with a "snap" in the eyes of everyone and the girl.

Arthur's face burned like fire, and he didn't know if the girl was looking at him, but he felt uncomfortable like pins and needles all over his body.

He wished that such an embarrassing scene could have happened in another scene, and that he could wake up ten minutes earlier and tidy up his messy hair and clothes.

Kyle originally wanted to teach the latecomer a harsh lesson, firstly, because he had become acquainted with Arthur a lot these days, and secondly, he could also take this opportunity to give the other classmates a small disadvantage.

But when he saw Arthur and the girl, he always thought that maybe it would be more interesting to put Arthur directly in the queue.

"Arthur, you missed breakfast, and the next one will have to wait until the time of camp, now, get in the queue. Kyle casually pointed at the position in front of the girl.

Arthur crouched down mechanically, stiffly picked up the dagger and black sword on the ground, and without trying to tie it around his waist, he just took it and walked towards the group.

Embarrassingly, when he faced the girl, he couldn't take his eyes off it again, and at this time there were already some "sneering" laughter in the team, and the girl seemed to notice it, but she didn't look at it, and listened carefully to Kyle's speech.

Arthur heard the laughter around him, even Kyle's voice, but it sounded like a buzzing sound to him, he kept trying to look at the girl, but he didn't dare to turn his head in front of everyone, his whole head was like mush, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he just wanted to look at the girl again, just one glance.

"Why are you going, I'm going to knock on your door!" Garcia asked in a low voice.

"I, I've slept, I've slept. Arthur was a little embarrassed to say such a speechless reason in front of the girl.

"Arthur, Garcia, you two can't stop listening to me, no matter how good you are!" Kyle said loudly.

"Yes, Baron Kyle!" the two replied in unison.

"Very good! Attention, everyone! It's not time to call me teacher, only those who can complete this trip can call me teacher!" Kyle glanced at the embarrassed brothers who had been named.

"Needless to say, the destination of this trip, the Pace Holy City War College, lasted about a month, traveled more than nine hundred kilometers, and passed all the way from the westernmost part of the empire!"

"The whole off-road, no big roads, sleeping in the wilderness, only magician students are allowed to live in tents!"

Kyle paused, and then shouted, "Except Arthur, Haber!"

The boys and girls immediately began to discuss, isn't this Arthur the skinny nerd just now, and he looks weak, why does Baron Kyle want to target him?

"Silence!" Kyle shouted.

"In addition to being a magician, Arthur is also a student of the infantry department, so this trip naturally has to be carried out according to the requirements of the infantry department. Kyle explained.

The crowd couldn't help but stare at Arthur in unison, very surprised.

On the continent of Huron Yar, just like the war job is almost all male, magicians are almost all women, it seems that women have a much greater chance of becoming magicians than men, the ratio of men to women is about one to twenty, and it seems that girls are born with a much greater ability to feel magic than boys. However, who among the very few male magicians would choose a profession that requires a head-on fight after discovering a magical talent?

This case of demonic and martial dual cultivation is extremely rare, and the last one seems to be a figure from nearly a hundred years ago.

To others, this is just an anecdote or a phenomenon, but when Arthur learned about it, he suddenly remembered that before, the apostle in white carefully distributed holy water to the girls one by one and checked their bodies, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold behind it.

Kyle didn't interrupt the kids this time, but waited for the kids to calm down before continuing to speak.

"Very well! You're probably all wondering what these guys are around you, so for now, we're going to say everything we need to say, and when we're ready, keep our mouths shut!"

Kyle waved his hand and motioned for the children to form a circle.

"Very well, the teachers come first! I, Kyle Jones!

"Olsen Daia, a teacher of cavalry warfare. ”

"Ryan Smith, a full-time teacher of warriors. A muscular man said happily, slamming his fist on the huge tomahawk crisscrossed behind his back.

"Ned Miller, swordsman teacher. A lean but obviously dexterous man next to him smiled at the boys and girls with a two-handed sword behind his back and a steel sword in his waist.

"Green, Adam, a senior of several years of seniors, has just taken a break from school for a while, maybe we can meet it. Green shook off his black hair slightly, and his gentle and handsome face caused the girls to talk a lot.

"Arthur, Arthur, you come first!" Kyle waved his hand, finally reaching the boys and girls.

"A, Arthur, Harbour, Scout, Wizard" Arthur, who is very intelligent and more mature, still speaks a little sharply.

Hearing the word scout, the young man who understood couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the graceful, bamboo-like girl couldn't help but look at Arthur twice, making Arthur's face flush.

"Garcia? Haber, berserker. ”

"Drake Harbour, knight. ”

"Asree Haber, spearmen. ”

It was very strange to hear that four people who looked completely different had the same surname.

"Brass Hammer! I'm called Brass Hammer! It's the Earth Dragon Knight!" Copper Hammer was still very excited.

"Furnaces, hoplites. ”

The only two dwarves introduced themselves.

Then all the rest will be from the Duke of Qinsizhu in the south.

"Claesson?Will, swordsman. A strong, extremely tall teenager said.

"Will Clinton, warrior. The other man with a tomahawk covered his mouth and smiled, it seems that the generic "Will" really brought a lot of joy to their road.

After that came four young girls.

"Alice Brown, magician. A fiery girl blinked mischievously.

"Julie, Louis, magician. A quiet girl in white whispered.

"Nina?Snow, magician, magician. A young girl, dressed in an inconspicuous brown and yellow cloth dress, said with a little trembling, but the little freckles on her face were jumping, which was so cute that people could not help but feel the urge to protect her.

Everyone exclaimed again, just one of the many teams going to the War College, there were already three magicians, which always made people wonder if the magicians had become the cabbage that can be seen everywhere.

Arthur didn't think about it at all, and he couldn't wait to turn his gaze to the last girl, the girl he finally had reason to look at in the open, a graceful and clear, as natural as bamboo, beautiful, noble and cold.

The girl was also looking at Arthur.

She slowly called out her name.

"Lucia Moore Stewart. ”

"Knight. ”
